I posted D+K's custom brewed beer giveaway, and wanted to showcase their custom invitation ensemble today. I included some photos of several other details we made -- there were so many, I'll just have to wait to debut Atrero Photography's glam photos.

From the beer labels, linen selections, centerpiece designs, bridesmaid dresses, to the smaller details, such as the paper goods, we stay consistent throughout the entire wedding with our full year clients. And with the invitation project as part of our design challenge, we had to ensure that these invitations not only fit within the couples' expense criteria, but with the overall feel and mood we wanted to convey on the day of. The wedding was to take place at the uber hip Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, and to fit the venue selection, we presented D+K with ultra modern invitation designs. You'll also notice music quotes throughout -- another personalized detail that was incorporated into the wedding. They selected this metallic purple pocket fold, which explored a more minimalist, chic, and vibrant direction. No frills here -- just a clean design to evoke the clean look D+K were trying to achieve.

We used a combination of paper materials, from vellum to metallic, to cotton rag and even matte stock. And to bump up the level of luxury, we had these printed two color letterpress on thick cotton rag paper. Check out their stylin' RSVP postcard with an e-session photo taken by Atrero Photography. These components were tucked into a translucent vellum envelope stamped with custom address labels, which mimicked the plexiglass elements we used throughout the wedding.
